June 17th, 2010 at 7:13 am
The whole experience looks magical, like it was blessed by the fairies of the place – of course, that partially because all the pictures I’ve seen of it are yours, and your pictures always look like that! But truly, seeing the pictures of the workshop look like the whimsical fantasies in my head. It would be lovely to have a taste (and a smell, and a glimpse!) of what it was like!

Hello Dearest Elizabeth,
While plopped on my couch, escaping the grey morning here in WA, I warm myself up with a cup of coffee and decide to visit one of my favorite places…Kiss the Groom. I knew I had to respond to today’s exciting posting! My eyes are closed and my fingers, toes, and heart are crossed in hopes of meeting these little lovelies, no one would cherish them more!
Your blog is like a dreamland to me that I live in and carry the images and thoughts around in my head through the day. It inspires me to acknowledge the beauty and enchantment that exist all around us. I know that in this land dreams can come true, so I’m dreaming of all the little lovelies that inspire me so. And hopefully, they can be a keepsake of the memories that have brought me to this wonderful place in life and love.
So here’s hoping that you “Give Luck” my way…literally, hee hee! : )
Xoxoxo…
June 17th, 2010 at 8:09 am

It’s so easy to take but so hard to give and the fact that you continue to give so much of yourself in everything you do makes you the person you are today…
What a lovely thought… a lovely basket of goodies… can’t wait till next week to find out who the lovely winner will be

June 17th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
This is so beautiful..”detalles” as we say in Spanish are the things that make everything special. All the details show just how much care was taken into the workshop. I love it. I am one of those that wished they could have attended however seeing this beauty makes me feel I was there. Crossing not only my own fingers arms and eyes..by crossing them with my little one for extra luck.

I so wanted to attend the Lovely Workshop in my favorite of all favorites…. ahhh…France. But, long ago I promised myself to never miss my children’s birthdays for work or any other reason. I love to make their day extra special like no one else can. I think the Lovely Workshop was my greatest temptation! My sweet, Lauren turned fifteen this May 19th and we celebrated, as a family, this special occasion together. But, please do it again. xoxo

Elizabeth, your work honors the art of photography with such feminine beauty and grace. The blog world almost overwhelms these days with so many weddings, so many ideas, but your images continue to be such an inspiration, transcending trends and finding the beauty in everyday things. I have enjoyed keeping up with “Kiss the Groom”….what a wonderful trip the lovely workshop must have been. I know the attendees must have left with a new outlook on life and ready to take a fresh look at their approach to photography.
I hope that I’ll have an opportunity to join you on one of the workshops some day!
Warmly,
Corbin
June 19th, 2010 at 9:34 am

Mon ami, your photos are blissfully breathtaking! Oh how I long to visit Paris! I love the Delphine Manivet dress photo with the dandelion. Silly as it may sound…I did not realize Paris had dandelions. I love how you take the ordinary and make it extraordinarily exquisite! XO
June 20th, 2010 at 8:18 am
…just found your website/blog today and fell in love!
Inspiration and a drawing, very exciting.
June 20th, 2010 at 9:54 am
my favorite wedding blog! pick me
June 20th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Dear Elizabeth,
I, a-soon-to-be-wife, discovered you through the wedblogs. But, unlike most photo sites, where I just brows for table/dress/etc. ideas, your images I truly savor! The naked, pregnant lady on the couch? Holi moli was it beautiful!!! Your family, the kids, the crowns, the couples, can’t get enough!
Now, as much as i’d looooove the treats for myself, i would like to ‘enter’ my sister into the contest. Because we live in NL, his fam is in eastern Europe and my family is in the USA, we are having two weddings. Lucky for me, i have tons of siblings who have been taking care of everything!!! Two sisters have taken on the main burden, but one of them is already getting a ‘treat’ (she’s flying to Europe to hang with us!!!). This giveaway is perfect for U., who is staying home to finish student teaching over the summer…
she is super romantic and loves love – reminds me of your photos
is an amateur-yet-pretty-serious photographer
LOVES Europe and has always ended up spending her saved up monies on visiting me or other friends
is SUPER bummed she can’t come over this year, has to miss the wedding and ensuing fun.
is a student and never gets to be pampered even though she deserves it!
If you choose me/her, I’d be happy to email you her address in the states!
P.s. if not, i also kind of vote for Andreanne Lamoureux cause babies are fragile and moms-to-be need luck and pampering!
Thanks for the giveaway, thanks for the photos and thanks for the inspiration to find love everyday!
June 20th, 2010 at 10:35 am
Oh, I am so hoping that I can make it to one of your workshops in the future! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this giveaway too.
June 20th, 2010 at 11:02 am
I love the chalkboard signs and the floral headpiece. Everything would fit so perfectly with my relaxed garden themed wedding next summer!
June 20th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Wow what a fun, bright and beautiful giveaway. My hubby and I are going to Paris next year for our 15th Wedding Anniversary and can’t wait…I’m tryng not to wish the time away…but it’s so darn hard not to when you have Paris in front of you
June 20th, 2010 at 11:39 am
oh, la la! Yes, s’il vous plaît!
June 20th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Love it! Wish I could have gone.

June 20th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Oh gosh. It’s all so rustic and delicate. I love it so much. That’s really what I try to achieve of my art.
June 20th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
All of this is PERFECT for my summer romance wedding in Vermont next summer. Eek! Fingers crossed!
June 20th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
It must have been an amazing experience! Everything looks beautiful!

Oh, my! I am so in love
June 21st, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Paris but a dream with the hope of a walk down her narrow winding streets.
The joy of a bride all of her dreams and realities coming true.
The smell of lavender fields
making a difference in the world through change
Sacrifice for the ones we love
Children laughing
The way her dress blows in the wind
The smell of the sea
Pine tree’s on the adriatic coast
The sound of my shutter
Her aura captured on film
Hand written notes
The sound of angels, the first time you hear your child sing
Inspiration
June 21st, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Wow, is all I have to say! What I would have given to come to your workshop! Not to mention that this is truely an amazing giveaway! Who ever is chosen will be one lucky lady (or dude)!!
